Children meet Santa at Chamber’s Holly Day

The Franklin County Junior Leaders grab a moment with the big man during Saturday’s Holly Day event. Hosted by the Franklin County Chamber of Commerce, Holly Day welcomed hundreds to the A.W. Todd Center for pizza, cookies, games, entertainment and a meeting with Santa and Mrs. Claus, Thomas and Mary Uptain. For more photos from Holly Day, see pages B2, B7 and B8 in this week’s Franklin County Times.
